Résumé

Suppurative thyroiditis is uncommon in the pediatric population and particularly rare to be caused by fungi. We present a case of Candida tropicalis thyroiditis in an adolescent male with acute lymphocytic leukemia that led to disseminated candidiasis, thyroid storm and eventual total thyroidectomy for source control.
